Currently there are 2 analysts that rate CA a buy, 1 analyst rates it a sell, and 6 rate it a hold.

TheStreet Ratings rates CA as a
buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, growth in earnings per share, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
